For over 150 years, Hunter College has been opening doors and transforming lives, inspiring students to become leaders and innovators in the classroom, the community and beyond. Continuing our long tradition of expanding opportunity, students from all backgrounds engage in a rigorous educational experience that prepares them to become leaders and innovators in their communities and in the world, including participating in volunteer opportunities to address community needs. We embrace our setting at the heart of New York City - weaving its resources into the fabric of our teaching, research and creative expression, and give back to it through our service and citizenship.
